The workshop aims to foster the horizontal exchange among Priority Areas of the EUSDR. The need for such exchange has been revealed over the past years of PAs implementation, specifically when concrete activities or projects have been developed by a PA. Some PAs already work closely together in order to strengthen synergies and to join forces for their work. Other PAs are cooperating in order to detect potential areas of conflict and to find ways to overcome them. It would be beneficial for the entire EUSDR implementation process to find working routines among the PAs and the PACs to strengthen the horizontal exchange and cross-PA cooperation.

Coordination between PACs in a given PA - how the implementation process of a given PA functions (interaction between PACs and between PACs and SGs) – tendencies observed, good approaches/ practices applied, but also not so good ones (i.e. pros and cons);

Some PAs (but not all) have established Working Groups or Task Forces – what is the advantage/disadvantage of having them in the overall PA’s implementation, what is their role (and what is not their role),what is their scope of work, how much they influence the process, what support they provide to PACs and to SGs, how do they function (are they supported (incl. financially?) and by whom), etc.;

Policy/political level involvement in PAs work- what are the good approaches/ practices, but also not so good ones (pros and cons of approaches/practices applied).
